I will talk about the various ways in which we have managed collaboration during the (so far) twelve-year lifespan of our project. About the challenges — esp identifying collaborators, and simply the amount of admin involved – and the benefits, some of which we didn’t anticipate.

Joanna Innes is tutor in modern history at Somerville College. She has been co-organising an international collaborative project on the process of ‘Re-imagining Democracy’ in Europe and both Americas, as a possible modern and not just ancient political form, since 2004. She is now working on a collective book arising from three years of Leverhulme funding for a network focussing on ‘Re-imagining Democracy in the Mediterranean, 1750-1860’.
